Northwest Houston, TX, during the early afternoon.
Locations: Northwest Houston, TX.
Thoughts: I am not feeling well. Going to bed early. No rain for the Houston, TX area, but a hard freeze kept the ground and road conditions very icy. Cars were sliding around and were not able to make it to much of anywhere. The animal hospital that I work at had decided to close early due to the lack of costumers to keep it open.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 180525 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1125 PM CST Wed Jan 17 2018 .AVIATION... Based off of the recent trends in the GOES-16 satellite imagery, the deck of mid-level cloud still SW of the region is continuing to struggle with the swath of very dry air in place across SE TX. A very slow northeasterly progression has begun in some locations along this boundary. As a result, have slowed the entrance of cloud cover across the northern and metro TAF sites by an hour or two Thursday afternoon. LBX will be the first terminal to be impacted by these mid-level clouds, and UTS should be the last. Although VFR conditions are expected to hold through most of the TAF period, guidance is indicating the potential for this deck to lower and thicken, resulting in borderline VFR to MVFR ceilings late Thursday afternoon and into the evening hours. Northeast winds will veer to the east and remain between 5-10kts through the day Thursday. Hathaway && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 919 PM CST Wed Jan 17 2018/ DISCUSSION... Kind of a tough temperature forecast tonight as clouds try to move into the region from the southwest but the cloud shield continues to contract as it encounters significantly drier air to the northeast. The air mass to the NE is dry with surface dew points between 10-15 degrees and fcst soundings and x-sections show a dry profile from the sfc to 500 mb. Winds are light so coupled with the dry air mass in place, ideal radiational cooling should occur. Since the cloud shield is not expected to arrive until after 12z, have decided to add both Austin and Colorado counties to the Hard Freeze Warning. Colorado county may be a bit of a stretch but Columbus is currently 25 so even if clouds move in, the criteria will probably still be met. Temps at Houston have been slow to fall this evening but parts of Harris County will fall below 25 by morning. Over the southwest part of the area, fcst soundings show some saturation between 6-7000 feet but the sub-cloud layer is very dry. Temps remain aoa freezing where the clouds are located. Leaned toward the ECMWF cloud product for Thursday and would expect widespread cloudiness by mid afternoon. The cloud cover will likely retard heating and afternoon temps are trending a bit cooler. Should make the lower 40s and thats about it. Won`t be much of a temperature drop tomorrow night as onshore winds and cloud cover help to insulate. 43 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
